We know that the Atari ST was physically hardware inferior to the Amiga, but there were still quite a few commercial Atari ST games that never saw an Amiga release. This has always interested me because, even though the Amiga is and probably always will be my favourite gaming platform, the ST and all other gaming platforms always have their own special and unique games to play.
So far from the old thread Atari ST games that outshone the Amiga we have a few exclusive ST games mentioned, plus I've collected together quite a few more.
The list I have so far is as following (with links to Atari Legend entries):
- 10th Frame
- 3D Breakthru
- 8 Ball
- Alien Thing (an Alien Breed clone - not as good, but still great fun)
- Alien Thing - The Directors Cut

Are there any more anyone can think of?
They don't have to be exclusive to the Atari ST. Just not released on the Amiga. For example Star Trek was also released for DOS and the C64, but never on the Amiga.
I know that the early US ST released were mostly never ported, Early Activision, Ere Informatique, Hippo and Loricels games, Atari Corp games... will have to check the releases from those to see if there are any more that were not released on the Amiga.
Update: I've just found a load more listed on a few forums. I've updated the list above to include them. :) Quite a few for us all to try and enjoy via emulation.
